Edgewood's main local outreach program to the City of Rochester, NY is called Healthy Harvest Ministries.

We are working hard to meet spiritual, physical, and academic needs in our city.

***We do have Covid outreach. Running supplies, making masks, and more. Please contact us at edgewoodfmc@gmail.com to speak with our urban missionary Kim Roth**

Turning Point

Healthy Harvest

The Healthy Harvest team holds a Bible club and mentors students weekly during the school year.

We knew that having a facility to work with students was a big need for this outreach program, so we moved our ministry into a building we call Turning Point in the Plymouth-Jefferson neighborhood and use it to serve the community.

Our missions committee oversees outreach locally, nationally, and internationally that is seperate from Healthy Harvest. They are responsible for allocating 10% of Edgewood’s overall budget to missions work.

We provide scholarship support to those in our Edgewood family who attend college. Scholarships we have supported or currently support are: Roberts Wesleyan College, Northeastern Seminary, other Free Methodist colleges, and The Charles Finney School.

Locally RunFlower City Work Camp

Flower City Work Camp is a ministry of Flower City Outreach, an organization that unites Rochester-area churches to deliver a range of services into the City of Rochester.

Each year, students and adults from nearly 60 churches deliver over 30,000 hours of service by improving homes, mentoring youth at basketball and soccer camps, and connecting with younger children in neighborhood Sidewalk Clubs to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to some of the neediest areas of our city.

We help send a small group of our youth students to the camp every year and Adults provide the student workers with meals, supplies, and more.

Some of our national outreach programs include a partnership with the Free Methodist Denomination to support Oakdale Christian Academy, a Christian boarding school for at-risk youth in Jackson, Kentucky.

The Free Methodist Church has always advocated for the abolition of slavery. We try to support as many Fair-Trade and ethical organizations as we can. We are committed to helping end modern day slavery through Eden's Glory and The Set Free Movement as well as our own Edgewood Abolitionists.
